Just about 21 weeks!!!

Well our little girl has cooked for just about 21 weeks now!! Hooray! It has been a busy two weeks for the Kaye Family (again)! My sister turned.......well we won't say how old and I spent the weekend in Bend helping her celebrate along with my mom. We painted pottery and ate lots of food. That same weekend Saul moved us into our new place in Lake Oswego. We are finally all moved in and getting used to the new digs. The dogs seem very happy and we are loving all the space. This past weekend we carved pumpkins, sat by the fire, and then on Sunday we registered at Babies R Us. Saul and I were both overwhelmed with the number of choices. I can say I was probably the only one walking around with a husband chewing sunflower seeds and scanning the gun without any direction. So if you see duplicates blame Saul :) I am still without much of a baby bump so I thought I would leave you all with a pregnancy survey. Have a great Monday and I will be sure to update again soon!

• Milestones: Baby Kaye is the size of a banana!!!

We made it to 18 weeks!!!

Well we are long over due for an update on Baby Kaye. Today I am 18 weeks 3 days and our little one weighed 10 ounces (that is 2 ahead of schedule). The past few weeks have been busy but also quite exciting. At 16 weeks we planned a surprise trip for my mom. She showed up to our house on a Saturday expecting to go shopping with me for baby clothes. That morning I convinced her that Saul really wanted to come with us and that he would drive. Instead of taking her shopping we made our way to Beaverton to the Portland Ultrasound Clinic. It was so much fun to see the look on her face she truly had no idea!!! For me this was the best part because I am terrible at not giving away surprises. We spent over an hour at the clinic with one very stubborn baby but after eating pixie stixs, running the stairs, and shaking the belly we found out we had a baby GIRL!!!! I think we were all shocked but so excited at the same time. Yesterday, I had another ultrasound through my doctor and they confirmed we have a little girl!!! Let the shopping begin.........

I know everyone is eager for belly pictures but there still is not much to show. As soon as I start growing I will post those on here along with the ultrasound pics!!!

What else has the Kaye Family been up to??? Well we are getting ready to move next weekend so that has kept us pretty busy. Last weekend we went apple picking at an orchard in Brooks! We had such a great time and are now overwhelmed with apples. I guess that is all for today and I will start updating this little blog more often (okay Sees??)

The First Family Update

Well it has been an exciting summer and I thought to start this blog off right an update is much needed! Saul and I were married on May 09, 2009 in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort. We had such a great time and were surrounded by our amazing family and friends. I was shocked by how many wanted to be part of our big day. My mom (most amazing person ever, seriously) was the one that truly made our big day possible and it was so much fun to plan it with her. We had a fabulous time and an even better wedding day. In June, Sarah (the fabulous sister) also tied the knot. We got the amazing opportunity to celebrate with her in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was such a great trip and of course she looked absolutely stunning on her big day! Once we returned from the Virgin Islands we discovered that well.........we were expecting our first addition to our family! It was quite the surprise but we are thrilled to be starting our family and waiting on Baby Kaye. We are both keeping busy right now with work and our two fabulous dogs (Bosworth and Chanel). At the end of October we will be moving to Lake Oswego, Oregon which will be a nice change from the downtown city life. Right now we are both just so excited to be parents and really begin our lives together!


*Our hope for this blog is to provide our friends and family the opportunity to be part of our this special experience. We will do our best to provide regular updates on Baby Kaye's progress, fun pictures, and any new experiences taking place.

A Few Wedding Photos!
